@@london5739 speed doesn’t contribute much if road and automobiles are in optimum conditions. German cars run at 300km/h and in most countries: cars travel at 110-120km/h .
Over the last 6 months or thereabouts, the newspapers have been posting ads asking for pple interested in working at the toll stations to apply (Nation newsapaper).
what kind of deal is that not a debt nor funded by the government but they will collected money for 30yrs ,its only 64billion more than 3000 cars pass there daily the government can pay this in less than 10yrs if its a debt
Since it's mostly for small cars and not lorries and buses or PSV why not increase the speed limit to 100 or 120 km/ again the toll stations have such a heavy chinese look unlike the SGR stations
What happens if upon lapse of the concession period the Chinese will not have recovered their money? Or what if they recover their money plus profits before the 27th year?
I'm afraid that we are becoming like the classic capitalistic economy like the US ,, Nairobi looks cool except if you really look ,China relationship isn't bad actually but a balanced economy shud be important,,from education, agriculture , infrastructure,health etc and if no politics in it ,a plus.
I don't mean to take someone's job away but why the need for someone to tap your card for you? Surely it would be faster to top the card up via mobile money or card online then just tap it yourself.
It's a high time these guys maximized profits by applying the economies of scale concept. They should let drivers have unlimited access for a much lower and affordable price. Affordability = more cars = higher cashflow = more profits
Revenue (affordable price x number of cars) is only one part of the equation. The second part is costs (Road maintenance & repairs due to wear and tear, Road side assistance in case of accidents, etc). The second part has quite the impact on profits/cash flows. Below a certain price level, the profit per car becomes negative.
Why should a 27 km road have 15 toll station‽ A toll every 1.8 km‽ That is crazy! Robbery without violence. Thats all crap ya exploit the citizen!!! So ksh 360 one way or all day‽ crazy crazy

@@mustolourien5823 Time will vindicate all lies told
This great. I think the speed limit should be 100kmph instead of 80Kmhp or no speed limit, since it’s an express high way
Haha
70kmhp is reasonable enough, going too fast can caught accident or deaths, it is not worth it, what the rush!!! There no traffics on motorways.

The total project cost eventually rose to KSh 82 billion and not the KSh63 billion as reported.
The rich can pay ... This is good. If only that money could not be stolen...we could go far as a country
Wakenya watahack io toll card na waitumie io njia for free in some months to come😆😆😆
We are paying tax, yet we are charged using parts of our roads!
You are not forced to use it
My friend thats how the world works
your tax is not enough to build us roads..plus dont use it if you dont want to
@Yong Zhou ata hio pesa hamtapata n'goo muin'goe mwende nayo!
@Yong Zhou You make it sound like the Chinese have built it for free. Its a loan with unfavourable terms. A SCAM
Wonderful 👍👍👍
Good production Alex 🙌🏾
How were The Express way workers chosen and employed?

Very much up to task and Decently Modern 💎👌🏾⚡️🙏☮️🇰🇪🎈🎊

Great video 👍!!
Amazing ....

@Yong Zhou Hi...do you think all these Investment will give China edge over US or India?? China failed in Maldives to kick out Indian Army.
Wonderful
We love you 💜💜💜💜💜 president Mr Kenyatta, leave Long life,Shuja wa yakenya
Thank God Kenya didn’t split into two!!

Why not do a system similar to the Autobahn? No speed limit, though tbf, the quality of drivers is not the same
The Autobahn only has no speed limit through less populated areas, urban areas have a speed limit
Was very necessary
Choose to be people who give thanks, complainng will d us n

30 Years? What a joke. A few families have made good money for their grandkids while the rest will hand over debt to their grandkids.
Better than foreign investors! Money stays local!!!!

I feel like this express way is not for the common wanainchi. They could have done something to do with metro.
Every new system operation lazima watu wa mlima . Ukabila wa Kenya. Hakuna kina omondi, mutuso or olesonike hata kidogo.

Can those people who make $3.10/day afford a car? If they can’t then this issue does not apply to them.
